Jurkat Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionJurkat cell line was established from the peripheral blood of a 14-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at first relapse in 1976; often this cell line is called "JM" (JURKAT and JM are derived from the same patient and are sister clones). On occasion, JM may be a subclone with somewhat divergent features.
TissuePeripheral blood

Culture Conditions and Handling
Thawing Frozen Cells
  1. Thaw the vial by gentle agitation in a 37°C water bath. Thawing should be rapid (about 2 minutes).
  2. Remove the vial from the water bath as soon as the contents are thawed, and decontaminate by dipping in or spraying with 70% ethanol. All of the operations should be carried out under strict aseptic conditions.
  3. Transfer the vial contents to a centrifuge tube containing 9.0 mL complete culture medium. And spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Resuspend cell pellet with the complete medium. And dispense into a 25 cm2 or a 75 cm2 culture flask. It is crucial to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells.
  5. Incubate the culture at 37°C in a suitable incubator.
SubculturingCultures can be maintained by replacement of medium or the addition of fresh medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 x 105 viable cells/mL. Do not allow the cell density to exceed 3 x 106 cells/mL.
Fluid RenewalEvery 2 to 3 days.
Freeze MediumComplete growth medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Culture Temperature37°C
AtmosphereAir, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
